The daughter of one of my cousins, named Moe, stopped by the townhouse several times to visit as her high school was in the area and brought several friends by to take my nephews around town.

BTW, all of the vegetables were lightly pickled in rice vinegar salt and sugar not served fresh. <br /><br />Lots of pickled vegetables served with most meals even breakfast.

It must be in season. Similar in that the surface doesn't have the ridges but has a similar texture. <br /><br />The toasted rice soup is similar to sizzling rice soup except the broth is fish based instead of chicken. All of the serving dishes looked hand made. Even though each persons plate or bowl looked similar they weren't exactly the same. <br /><br />I don't know anything about beer but my cousins ordered Asahi. What was interesting is that you don't fill your own glass. The person next to you fills your glass and you fill theirs anytime it looks empty.

If so, it's got to be excellent. <br /><br />How nice to have family in Kyoto. I had an instant immersion CD of Japanese several years ago and I still remember several words. I could not put a sentence together, but I am surprised at how many words I remember. <br /><br />Beautiful bowls, too. What's a good Japanese beer?Martha https://www.blogger.com/profile/02785787084073523841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-57744313364253218152013-06-22T14:35:36.440-08:002013-06-22T14:35:36.440-08:00Veggie sushi, YUM!
